THE NEW GOLCONDA.
The Wealth Lying Under Tarrant
County is Most Fabulous and Dis.
covered by Mere Accident.
Figures Inadequate to Properly Estimate
the Value of the Building Rock and
Cement Mine Discovered Recently.

Slumbering peacefully and undisturbed
beneath the generous soil of Tarrant
county lies mine of wealth greater
than that dug from the mines of Golconda,
greater than the pearls under Oman's
green water, greater than the famous
mines of Cornwall, greater than the
treasures of the Orient, greater than the
wealth of California or the treas
ures of Brazil. It is truly a
mountain OF wealth, though
not KohinCoT, and is destined to be of
more value TO Tsrrant county and Texas
than could possibly have been the dull,
useless gewgaws subServient to Alad-
din's famous lamp. 1t is in brief g per-
feet, interminsble wilderness of tirst-class
cement and building rock. 1t lies buried
under the surface from fifty to 100 feet in
depth. 1t is all under Tarrant county,
extending into Wise, Johnson, Parker anQ
Dallas for some distance.
Like all great discoveries, this discov-
cry was merely the creature Of
accident. No one suspected and 10
one believed that such wealth Law
within the grasp Of enterprise, and il Was
only by mere accident that the data
necessary to insure basis for
the belief was collated. For : number
of years artesian well borers nave been
sinking wells all over this county. They
worked separately and no one knew what
the other was doing. Recently a meet
ing was held-ap informal meeting W ere
everyone spoke freely-and i Was dis
closed that the universal experience was
that al depth OF from fifty to 100 feet be-
meath the surface, lay g strata Of solid
white rock, without e seam or defect,
$50 feet = thickness. This is
the sort of rock which imprisons
natural gas, but nstural gss is now con-
coded by all to be here in abundance.
The value of this rock is that it will make
q cement far superior to the famous Port
land cement and it will furnish s building
rock equal if not superior to the best
granite. 1t is not definitely settled
whether or not this mineral Will answer
al the purposes of white lead. When
pulverized and spread upon building of
wood or stone it turns TO beautiful
white as soon as it becomes dry. There
is no question about its being natural
cement, and there is no question about
its being q magnificent building rock,
which, when exposed to the air and sun
shine, becomes harder than granite.
"There is, on q moderate estimate"
said gentleman we'll versed in miner
slogy, "enough Of this rock under Tar
rant county to give employment to 1O0,-
600 men for 1000 years, or forever for
that matter" This surely is boom for
Tarrant county. If we have building
rock for the state, cement for the Amer
lean continent and natural uOs for Fort
Worth, we can reasonably expect to have
the largest city in the southwest ere
long. Those gentlemen who have made
study of the question, have an abiding
faith in the value of their discovery, and
they will put the question to practical
test soon.

Helena ARK Special

Helena N&AIk.) special.
The poorhOuse here contains strange
freak of nature. This is boy between
seven and eight years OF age, q typical
negro child, excepting from his neck up.
He was born at Old Town, about twenty
miles from Helena. The boy, or boy
fish, as he IS called, has very indistinct
articulation. He has no palate. His
head is held always on his breast, as if it
was closely erticulated with it, or IN fact,
part of the breast. 1t is oblong and his
forehead reCedes from point below the
eyes to the crown of his head. At sn
early age there We're scales on his back
which very much resembled the scales on
buffalo fish. They have, in the course
of time, worn away, leaving only g whit
ISL mark similar il size to the scales.
His eyes protrude from their sockets
at least q quarter of an inch, and are
perfectly sightless; he moves them in q
way similar to that of g fish. 1t is thought
by his keeper that, though sightless out
Of water, by some dispensatiOn he is able
to see distinctly when his eyes are under
the water. When he comes in the vicinity
of wster, or when it rains, he has pecu-
liar commissions and moves his arms as
fish does it's fms. There is in the middle
of his forehead a ridge of the HARDNESS Of
gristle, resembling the burrows in, a
buffalo fish's head, which appears very
distinctly in the morning, but as evening
advances it disappears, snd when night
comes it is gone entirely, only TO return
with its usual distinCtness in the morning.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 1l.-Sarsh Bern
hardt and her pet tiger cub "Minette,"
had q royal time on Thursday afternoon
at the hotel which which was not so
pleasant for other parties concerned.
Nine. Bernhardt ordered a special dish
cooked for the cub. When it was brought
in by the waiter, the hungry young tiger
made spring and fastened his teeth in
the arm of the terrified attendant, which
caused him TO howl with agony, and
hastily deposit the ASSISTANTS dinner on
the richly carpeted floor. The waiter
retired soon after and found
1t necessary 20 call physician
to dress his wound. His injuries
are said to be quite serious and blood
poisoning is feared. The cub also at
tempted to bite the head waiter, but the
latter was TOO alert. Nine. Bernhardt
was much amused over the little episode,
but the bitten woiter proposes to sue for
damages
